IIS5 WWW based 'Windows Explorer'

I'm looking for a Windows Explorer type of interface for my IIS5 Win2k
Srv. setup to allow a AD group acct. access to files if/when the FTP
side is down. Up/download, delete, moving, rename (all based on NTFS
permissions).

Current setup on the local drive:
<Virtual Folder>
- Files folder (read/browse everyone)
- Upload folder (full access for group, read/browse everyone)

I am currently testing out Fileman (IISWorks.com) that fits the bill
but is a little more overhead that I was hoping for.

I need it secure (running SSL, certificate server on this sub-virtual
folder) that seems to work so far.

Any other options that anyone knows about??

Thanks (in advance)

WebDav doesn't seem to be any better than folder browsing w/in IE. As
usual, the MS solution works for some things (minute) but is not
robust.

I needed more of a type of 'hosting' solution, uploads/downloads
capability, lockdown/security. Almost an 'offtime' FTP if you will.

I apprec. the pointer though....it has given me an idea or two :)

Hello David,
You can use Webdav as a file transfer solution- it works over http and you
can use SSL to make it more secure.
Check out

Hope this helps.
